Aldi don’t disappoint when it comes to skincare products. The only thing that can be disappointing is stock levels and availability when purchasing products for the face and body. But when they do have products come in that aren’t part of their everyday ranges, it definitely perks up the interest of skincare shoppers. So when I spotted their Ultimate range last week, I wasn’t sure if this was new, a repeat or products I simply missed, but I was still intrigued. So what products did I find and how much do they cost?
Ultimate Serum
This serum helps hydrate, smooth and soften the skin thanks to it containing squalane, hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C, Edelweiss and Pomegranate extracts. It should be easily absorbed as its light weight, so will leave skin feeling protected but not greasy. £8.49 for 30ml.
Ultimate Eye Serum
This contains a similar set of ingredients as the serum, but also niacinamide (helps to hydrate, protect and repair skin) and centella extract (hydrating and soothing on the skin). So expect under eyes to feel lightly nourished, which will help the appearance and feel of lines and wrinkles. £6.99 for 15ml.
Ultimate Rich Cream
Containing squalane, peptides, hyaluronic acid and green tea extract, this formulation is all about delivering. Delivering hydration, protection and making the skin feel and appear to be firmer and plumper. £8.49 for 50ml.
Thoughts?
This range of products look like they’re aimed at an older, more mature person. The packaging reflects this and not geared towards a younger market at all. What these products are supposed to do to the skin and ingredients, sounds like it’s catering for skin that needs more help with putting things back into the skin that it’s lacking. Aged skin isn’t always down to the age of the person though. It could be down to lifestyle, genetics and other factors. I think if you want to use this range, these are for someone who needs help to get skin in better, general condition. Products for mature skin tend to come at a higher price point than ranges for younger skin. This may explain why these are a little more pricier than other skincare products Aldi usually sell.
This collection of products won’t suit everyone. So if investing in this range, it might be worthwhile trying out 1 product first and taking it from there. BUT with the colder weather here in the UK, this range might be nice to pop into your routine if your skin is feeling tight, dehydrated and needs a little life put back into it.
